The author of the above described book is the Boka Kotorska writer and chronicler Krsto (Krilo) Mazarović (Perast, 1680 – Perast, 1725), who lived during the period of the greatest cultural rise of Perast. He was a sailor, writer, collector of folk songs and author of the biography of the Mazarović family. His work embodies the chivalric and literary artistic ideal of the era. The work describes the victory of the Perast people over the pirates near Drača in 1716, in which the author himself had participated. The book was published in Venice, in 1718, in Italian, and its special importance for our culture is given by its dedication to Count Sava Vladisavljević.
The publication has been preserved in a very small number of copies and is extremely rare. According to expert data, it is almost absent from the catalogues of major European libraries, which makes it especially valuable.
